Best Doses Poems

My friend, Carol Eastman, said I'm an unusual poet
Very true, I never know where this old brain is focused
It's a mystery to me
Same as you, as you see
I'm as entertained as you guys, but only in small doses

God Gives Us 
Wisdom In Small Doses

Sad is the People of the lost hope
LIFE is often a long drive nowhere
Golden is the song joy brings
Deep is love that truly lives
Dark are troubles that they ware
Lost are hopes never to see
Young is the ones of youth

Family get togethers are so much fun
    provided you stick to the rules.
Greet everyone with a smile.
Get them talking about themselves.
Don't compare nor gloat.
Set the timer to 'it will be over soon'.
Keep topics neutral; arguments deflated.
Keep unmentionables hidden away.
Don't say the obvious,...

Alongside the bird I am awake
From still and sleep to shape and shake
To begin with, to Lord a praise
And thanks for Good and Gift and Grace.

For my life’s greatest miracle

Arose glorious mountains in all direction

Galactic storms and bolts that blow apart
The mighty ego and hate from every heart
Bloomed seamless beds of lovely Roses
Thorns seem trivial,oceans of nectar oozes

Galactic fusion, release of enormous...

Wisdom In Small Doses




Pale is the color of lost hope
  life is often a short rope
Golden is the song joy gives
  deep is love that truly lives
Blue are troubles sadly worn
  lost are hopes never born
White is the color of youth

Christmas frolic now spreads unwrapped,
all love intended packs unstrapped.
Each gift ribboned emotions rapt
to reveal joy poignantly apt.
Memories have great heart impact
people seek to keep intact.
Christmas doses produce love extract
to sweeten cheers lasting distract.
May love I Christmas exact,
imprint Christmas love as fact.

If nirvana is a void of emptiness 
Then I am experiencing nirvana 
In increments

The stillness in my thoughts
Lingers within my daydreams

I can taste the bitterness of anxiety

So I breathe in 

My chest expands 
And now I am full 

I am complete
I am at peace

I exhale

without hope we do not thrive
we do not live, we do not strive
hope is the wherewithal we need to continue
the angels bring it to us in heavy doses

some days we need it more than other days
they shower it upon our souls, but we have power

Comfort comes in small doses
But pain gushes
Fills in those holes
That you thought you covered up
I’ll pat you dry
When the torture rains mercilessly...

If I could I'd take a million doses of happy
   Cause happy is so hard to achieve
       If I could put that chemistry in a pill
